Why Nexus Blitz should stay

IVG Bad Dog·Aug 25, 2018·59 votes·16,153 views

Nexus Blitz must be permanent in League of Legends. Its the most fun I've had in years playing this game and even if the graphics and the map in general are so bad I keep returning in this gamemode because it is so fun ! A lot of my friends love this gamemode and I know that even more people around the world do too. So this game mode has to stay. Probably the best thing you did for the game in a long time !

It reminds me of season 2 or 3 of the game when most people just went into 5v5s in Summoner's Rift to have a good time and genuinely had fun... Not like today, where more than half of the players actively wish for real life death to their teammates just becaused they died in-game one-too-many times (which is another problem you should focus on solving).

So in summary you guys did a great job with this mode and we would be more than happy to see it stay permanently.

It's so stupid.

Stupid fun that is. The shorter games give less time for resentment to fester and especially when both teams keep dogpiling eachother.

GigglesOAug 25, 20185 votes

Yea, you either need a longer game with meaningful comeback potential, or short enough that its just over.

becausejAug 25, 201822 votes

Yes. But...NEVER MAKE A NEXUS BLITZ RANKED. IT WILL KILL THE MODE.

InfernapeAug 25, 20187 votes

All it needs is draft so I can permaban Sona and Lux.

You mean yasuo.

Cause 3 reasons:

Game is so fast in building items such as urf which swing in favor of late game and early game champions.
You having fun and not seeking to hard win like in normal or ranked game in SR.
Cause there no damn routine of doing stupid baron and dragon to win game, just fun events that whole team work on not cause bot lane is hard winning and 2 can solo drake.

you forgot the 4th reason : 4. champion catapult

Well it part of the fun events xD

{quoted} 2. You having fun and not seeking to hard win like in normal or ranked game in SR.

I think you haven't seen the tryhards emerge yet. I have. It's a fun gamemode if both teams just play it for fun, but when one team decides to go full on tryhard mode to squeeze out an easy win then the mode is complete garbage.

Agreed, but they should completely remove Herald as well. The team that gets Herald pretty much autowins. The event that should get deleted as well is the moving Nexus BS. It's not fun duking it out for 15 minutes, then finally being able to kill their second tower just for the event to strip you off a higher winchance.

Well i agree herald need to be removed, it just too op objective in this game mode special tower are like cake here well more cake than normal xD

And the try hard you will find them everywhere, i do try hard sometimes xD But atleast the game mode is so fast you won't see that much.

Reminds me of hexakill TT. It's really fun

I actually got a "Hexakill" during a Bardle royal but they called it a "legendary kill" on op.gg

Riot already said they intend for it to be a permanent alternative to summoners rift.

otakoteepAug 25, 20181 votes

Good

BeatzBoyFTWAug 26, 20181 votes

Only after they finished doing thorough testing in PBE after they removed the current Nexus Blitz from public server.

Ok sure but whyAug 26, 20186 votes

In a month, they'll completely remove the game mode forever and say, "Ohhh, people felt burnt out after playing this for a month."

Damn, I miss URF.

nGioAug 26, 20184 votes

I've been waiting a few years for player numbers to drop, so they'll release permanent URF, Hexakill, OFA, Dominion, etc, and let us run wild SC2 Arcade style.

I love the "people get burnt out", "new client", "work is too much work", and other bullshit reasons why they are forcing a steady dose of LC$ Simulator down our throats. The good RGMs are the only times I see my friends list active, and most rl friends tell me "text me when URF is back".

DarkSoul1994Aug 26, 20181 votes

I felt burnt out after playing 20 games of it on the day it was released.

It definitely needs polish. As someone who was a fan of Dominion several years ago with 200+ wins, I welcome Nexus Blitz, which btw I'm omw to 200 games on Nexus Blitz. I'd like to write a review of this game. Expect a post about it later today! :D

Don't worry if you checked the one on PBE, it had alot of improve in polish term and design.

It certainly has come a long way since it's alpha on the live client. It was SO BUGGY the day it got pushed to alpha. I'm so glad they worked on the 15 second jump in game start up, which was affecting all game modes, and the minor changes they did to runes as the alpha was going on. But dang I can only imagine how crazy it must have been on PBE.

I don have a PBE account but I don't get on it as much anymore. I always wanna check out the new champs or items but someone always instalocks and people dodge you know? xD

I know i know, i did try it and it got improved alot special with bush and theme color.

L RayquazaAug 26, 20184 votes

The best part is it isnt even at it's fullest potential yet, we are supposed to get a whole different aesthetic with the map later with a popular fan request being the underbellys of Zaun, there can be more events, more bonuses, maybe Rift Herald can be replaced with a large Chem-Baron machine and Eye being a dropship beckon or something of the type if they go with the Zaun theme, different jungle mobs, who's to say it will even be a jungle in all but name. I can't wait for more

IVG Bad DogSep 3, 20181 votes

Well I thought of something more Ionia-like though I see your point and I would welcome Zaun as a map theme [vlad-salute]

It's a fun game mode but needs heavy tuning.

Madsin25Aug 25, 20182 votes

Tbh nexus blitz has massively increased my queue times and that's about the only reason I want it gone.

Child of the PitAug 25, 20182 votes

Sad is, if a gamemode is too much fun, it will be taken away, same reason as with urf most likely.

Smartness ImmuneAug 25, 20181 votes

Urf it's a rotating gamemode. While Nexus Blitz it's supposed to be a fully fledged alternative to Summoner's Rift/Twisted Treeline/Aram

Well, if it was made to stay permanent, then why even bother to worry it might not get implemented?

DiamondSeedAug 26, 20182 votes

I can finally play Ryze to his fullest potential!

It is one of the best Game mode they have made in a long while.

LaserDeathBladeAug 26, 20182 votes

Blitz honestly feels much more balanced than Summoner's Rift

The insane damage makes sense

There's strong solo carry potential

There's strong come-back potential

It's got strategy, teamwork, objectives, etc. I would actually play Ranked Blitz over SR

Sona FabichOct 30, 20182 votes

We need this game mode back ! Please Riot... Please...

Genuinely best game mode since Dominion.

fƒ15Aug 25, 20181 votes

I legit went ap jarvan 4 to aery shield everyone with my e (gives attack speed and therefore gives allies aery up to 4 times per cast if u hug them) like 3 games in a row and won without anyone flaming me? I saved ppl but it was kinda troll and funny lool good times

I PT IAug 26, 20181 votes

I wish some of my teammates were having as much fun as I am. Around 4/10 games there's always that one guy or two who start flaming everyone else thinking it's his promos like dude just have fun.

hhaavviikkAug 26, 20181 votes

only if they change bardle royale, oh you're 2 kills ahead of the enemy? here's bardle royale with the ring going behind the enemy turret, enjoy giving the enemy 5 kills.

xZabaksxAug 26, 20181 votes

It's just so good! I love playing TahmKench in it (saving allies/devouring enemies every 20 seconds is awsome!!)

Ulquiorra0123Aug 26, 20181 votes

I'm torn, I think the current iteration is bland and boring. I think so much more can be done with it. I literally just autopilot because no matchmaking so there isn't really a challenge in any game of it. The game mode might just not be for me, but the game is literally decided on which team gets the new player xD

It is a cool idea, I had fun for the first few games, and then I remembered URF exists and could have been permanent. Not ARURF, that is cancer, URF with bans.

I will say however that since I am done with ranked for the season on this account, it is a nice break to come onto this account and play nexus blitz.

BeersteinAug 26, 20181 votes

The balance is way too far out of whack. My games consisted of if one team tryhards they win, if neither does who knows, if both to, then it can be competitive, but again, that's only when tryharding which limits the champ pool to a handful of champs.

I see someone say it feels more balanced than SR, but I don't see champs with like 70% win rate in SR lol. Was fun for a while, but not something I'd want to stay in its current state.
